Chapter 367

That night, Luoyang City was ablaze, and blood flowed like a river in the imperial palace!

Under the leadership of Huangfu Wuji, the Underworld Deity Palace, the Netherworld Pavilion, and the original Heavenly Mirror Official Army charged into the palace, killing a large number of Dragon Guards and Imperial Guards!

The royal family of the Central Plains was caught off guard. The elites of the clan came out together and summoned the Kunlun Mirror, vowing to defend the palace with their lives!

However, Huangfu Wuji wielded the Kunlun Thearch Sword in his invincible War God form and shattered the imperial palace with a single slash. His irresistible force was unstoppable!

Emperor Yang Hong was killed on the spot, and Crown Prince Ji Zefang was hacked to death by the army!

From the elderly to the young children of the Central Plains, all of them died in this massacre!

On the night of the battle, the only one who survived was Princess Lanchu. It was said that a green bull descended from the sky that night and rescued her at the critical moment. Since then, the whereabouts of the princess have been unknown!

The battle ended the next day, and the imperial palace was directly turned into ruins. Huangfu Wuji summoned all the officials of the imperial capital to the imperial court to discuss matters!

In front of all the officials of the imperial court, he falsely claimed that all the members of the imperial family of the Central Plains had been killed by a sudden plague.

The night before, Luoyang had been engulfed in flames of war. The mournful cries of women and children in the Imperial Palace had never ceased. How could the officials not know the true situation?

It was just that Huangfu Wuji was already in control of the Kunlun Thearch Sword and Kunlun Mirror, the two great treasures. He also had complete control over the military forces in Luoyang. The officials felt sorrowful in their hearts, but they had no choice but to endure the humiliation.

On that day, the imperial court issued an edict to the world.

The Central Plains' imperial family, surnamed Ji, was incompetent and virtuous, so the heavens sent down the wrath of heaven, causing a plague to run rampant in Luoyang.

Fortunately, the important minister of the country, Huangfu Wuji, was favored by the heavens. He carried on the will of the founding emperor and retrieved the Kunlun Emperor's Sword from the Kunlun Ruins, saving Luoyang from the disaster.

From today onwards, the God of War, Huangfu Wuji, will temporarily be the Regent of the imperial court and the Grand Marshal of the Nine Prefectures!

The moment the Empire made the announcement, the entire continent was in an uproar!

The Huangfu Clan's ambition was clear. The major powers immediately learned of the tragedy that befell the Central Plains' royal family, but they all chose to remain silent!

Huangfu Wuji was originally the War God of the Middle-earth Empire, an elite at the peak of the Heaven Tier. Now that he had obtained the Kunlun Emperor's Sword, he was unstoppable. No one knew just how powerful he was!

The two great dark forces, the Nether God Palace and the Netherworld Pavilion, tore off their disguises and joined forces completely, causing the other great forces to hesitate and tremble with fear.

On the surface, he controlled the army of the empire, and in the dark, he controlled the two dark forces. Huangfu Wuji swept away the dejection he showed in the Imperial Martial Arts Competition, and he was only one step away from the throne of the emperor and the ruler of the nine prefectures!

"He's the God of War in the light and the God of the Underworld in the dark. With the Kunlun Imperial Sword in his hand, Huangfu Wuji is invincible on the continent!"

"For 65,555 years, no one has ever walked out of the Kunlun Ruins alive, but he did it. I'm afraid he's destined to be the Son of Heaven protected by the heavens!"

"Even the powerful royal family of the Central Plains has been uprooted. The only person on the mainland who can defeat Huangfu Wuji is probably the Celestial Emperor of the Celestial Court who has lived for countless years!"

All the forces on the continent were anxious and fearful, paying close attention to the movements of Huangfu Wuji and the Celestial Court.

With Huangfu Wuji's ambition, he would definitely not stop expanding his territory, and the greatest enemy in front of him was the Celestial Court!

He was temporarily the Regent and refused to ascend the throne. Everyone was discussing it, saying that it was because of the Celestial Court.

Only when the Celestial Court was destroyed would the Nether God Palace be able to unify the dark world and provide the greatest support to the Huangfu clan in secret.

Only when the Celestial Emperor died could Huangfu Wuji prove that he was the number one expert in the world.

As long as these two conditions were met, no one in the entire continent would be able to stop the rise of the Huangfu clan!

…

In the heavenly palace, the old Heavenly Emperor sat on his seat and did not say a word for a long time.

The Killing God Qing Lin stood below without saying a word. The atmosphere was unusually heavy.

"Qing Lin, pass on the Old Man's decree. Dismiss everyone in the heavenly palace."

The old Heavenly Emperor pondered for a long time before sighing.

"Your Majesty, you mean …"

Qing Lin was shocked.

"We've all underestimated Huangfu Wuji. The Old Man should've killed him during the Martial Competition in Luoyang."

The old Heavenly Emperor's expression was grim. "If it wasn't for the Old Man cherishing his life too much, the Middle Earth imperial family wouldn't have encountered such a tragedy, and our Celestial Court wouldn't be in such a precarious situation."

"Your Majesty, has Huangfu Wuji already become so powerful?"

The Killing God Qing Lin gritted his teeth. He had never seen the Heavenly Emperor like this.

"Huangfu Wuji has risen like a comet on the continent, and the Old Man has never been able to see through him. Even now, he still can't see through him.

"For 65,555 years, no one has ever entered and left the Kunlun Ruins alive. However, he actually did it and even brought out the Kunlun Emperor's Sword. This means that his strength has already reached an unfathomable level.

"He was originally a powerhouse at the peak of Heaven Stage, and now that he possesses two great treasures of Middle Earth, the only person in the entire continent who can stop him from advancing is probably the Old Man."

The Heavenly Emperor's expression was unprecedentedly serious.

"This battle is unavoidable. Although no one knows where the Nine-Heaven Palace is, he'll be able to find us very soon with the Kunlun Emperor's Sword's guidance. "Therefore, the Old Man wants you to dismiss everyone so that they won't die in vain."

The Killing God Qing Lin looked indignant. "Your Majesty, shouldn't you gather all the killing gods everywhere and fight Huangfu Wuji to the death?"

"Huangfu Wuji's strength is no longer something that ordinary killing gods can deal with. No matter how many ordinary Heaven Stage powerhouses there are, it's meaningless against him. "

The Heavenly Emperor shook his head.

Qing Lin knew that the old Heavenly Emperor would not be an alarmist. There was probably no one in the entire Kunlun Continent who was more knowledgeable than him. Since he made such an evaluation of Huangfu Wuji, it meant that his current strength had truly transcended the mortal realm.

"The Old Man wants to meet Huangfu Wuji alone in the Heavenly Palace to find out what exactly happened to him. It's not that easy to control the Kunlun Emperor's Sword. He must have a big secret on him. "

The Heavenly Emperor smiled.

"Your Majesty, have you divined the result of this battle with the Book of Heaven?"

The Killing God Qing Lin asked hesitantly.

The old Heavenly Emperor immediately fell into silence.

On the day the Middle Earth's royal family fell, he had already divined his own fate with the Book of Heaven. Seven times, all seven times were ominous signs!

He knew that this battle was fraught with grim possibilities, but this battle was unavoidable.

Seeing that the Heavenly Emperor did not answer, the Killing God Qing Lin guessed the result of the divination, and his mood became even heavier.

"Your Majesty, we …"

The Killing God Qing Lin still wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the old Heavenly Emperor with a wave of his hand.

"According to the Old Man, all the cultivators in the Heavenly Palace must be dismissed, and the truth must not be told to them. After doing this, you should also leave. "

"If the Old Man's premonition is right, Huangfu Wuji will be here soon. If the Old Man wins this battle by a fluke, it can be considered as doing a good deed for the common people of the entire continent. "

"If the Old Man loses, you have to go to Gu Chen's side and focus on being his Dao Protector. He will be the last hope of the continent."
